I officially “broke in” my Sweet Indulgence package of teas from David’s by trying this blend this morning.
Given that I don’t drink much black tea, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but this is a really nice, smooth cup! Right after steeping, the strongest smell and taste was of the vanilla, especially in the aftertaste. As it cooled, the bergamot came out a bit, but vanilla still seems to be the strongest flavour, both scent and taste-wise. As it cools down even more, I can smell deeper notes, like chocolate, which merges nicely with the vanilla. I added about half a spoonful of agave syrup to bring out the sweetness, and it really works. A lovely way to start the day.
